Through personalized sessions, we help you develop practical coping skills, gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back, and move toward positive, lasting change. Whether you’re looking to manage overwhelming emotions, improve self-esteem, or simply gain a better understanding of yourself, we’re here to support your journey toward greater emotional well-being.
Relationship Therapy
(Offered by one of our clinicians)
Relationship therapy is available for heterosexual couples who are committed to working through challenges and strengthening their connection. This service is offered by a clinician on our team who specializes in helping couples move beyond conflict, improve communication, rebuild trust, and create a deeper, more resilient bond.
Using a respectful, goal-oriented approach, couples therapy is ideal for those ready to do the work of resolution—whether you’re facing recurring disagreements, emotional distance, or recovering from past hurts.
Please note that relationship therapy is offered as a self-pay service only.
While our couples therapy services currently focus on heterosexual partnerships, we’re happy to offer referrals to affirming providers for other types of couples or relationship structures.

Payment Options: Self-Pay and Insurance
When it comes to investing in your mental health, self-pay therapy offers unmatched advantages compared to using insurance. With self-pay, you have complete control over your treatment—no insurance restrictions dictating the type, length, or frequency of your sessions. Your privacy is fully protected, as your mental health records remain confidential and are not shared with insurance companies, avoiding potential limitations on future coverage. Additionally, self-pay ensures that you receive personalized, high-quality care without the constraints of a diagnosis requirement, which insurance often demands for coverage. You and your therapist decide what’s best for your healing journey—not a third-party provider with financial motives.
On the other hand, using insurance for therapy often comes with frustrating limitations. Insurance companies require a formal mental health diagnosis, which becomes part of your permanent medical record and could impact future employment, life insurance, or security clearances. They may also limit the number of sessions, dictate which therapists you can see, or deny coverage for certain types of therapy that could be most effective for your needs. Many therapists avoid insurance due to its bureaucracy, meaning the most experienced and specialized professionals often operate on a self-pay basis. In contrast, self-pay gives you the freedom to focus on your well-being without external interference, ensuring that your therapy is truly designed around you and your goals.
